Watch this INCREDIBLE 3 second video clip. It’s an LV Gram showing Takotsubo with free wall rupture of the Left Ventricle. You can actually see the blood spurting out into the pericardial space with every heartbeat!

Does this patient has a potentially hemodynamically compromising effusion? You have to pause the video and go frame by frame. If there is collapse of the RV when the mitral valve opens, like in this case, the answer is YES.
